Preparatory planning framework for Created Out of Mind: Shaping perceptions of dementia through art and science

Abstract: Created Out of Mind is an interdisciplinary project, comprised of individuals from arts, social sciences, music, biomedical sciences, humanities and operational disciplines. Collaboratively we are working to shape perceptions of dementias through the arts and sciences, from a position within the Wellcome Collection. The Collection is a public building, above objects and archives, with a porous relationship between research, museum artefacts, and the public.  This pre-planning framework will act as an introduct… Show more

“…For instance, as Beard et al (2009) note, one dominant story that has been portrayed about people with dementia is that their talk is meaningless, their recollections are of little importance, and their memories are defective. However, the importance of challenging these perceptions and advocating positive attitudes towards dementia, in both social and scientific contexts, is becoming increasingly recognized (Swaffer, 2014;Zeilig, 2014;Dementia Engagement and Empowerment Project, 2014;Brotherhood et al, 2017). Discourse on dementia is shifting away from a reductionist biomedical perspective, that portrays the disease primarily in terms of loss, towards a more holistic perspective that considers the person with dementia not as a "sufferer" but as an individual who can be supported to cope and potentially live well with the condition (Beard et al, 2009;Kitwood, 1997;Swaffer, 2014).…”

“…The terms “creativity” and “dementias” are not two words that often find themselves linked. When asked about what word comes to mind when thinking about the dementias it is rare if not unheard of for creativity to be identified ( Brotherhood et al, 2017 ; van Leeuwen et al, 2017a ). Part of this disconnect is the result of years of creativity research that has focused on eminent creators in science and industry, university undergraduate psychology students as part of a course requirement, artists of various sorts, and gifted “geniuses” with very little research exploring creativity and people with mental or physical health problems, the exception being the apparently “mad” artist (e.g., Csikszentmihalyi, 1997a ; Chad et al, 2007 ; King Humphry, 2010 ; Bellas et al, 2018 ).…”

“…To better understand psychological and physiological responses to creative arts activities by those with a dementia, wearable technology has been used to continuously measure psychophysiological changes during and across activities ( Bourne et al, 2017 ). Empatica E4 wristbands (Empatica, Cambridge, MA, United States), watch-sized devices, were employed to measure the following ( Brotherhood et al, 2017 ):…”
